How far does your top pin go out to?

im wondering how much farther i could go out if i had a faster bow. i pull 55 pounds with a 28 in draw lenght and shoot around 210 fps. my top pin goes out to 17 yards but i use it out to 20. har far does urs go out to and how fast do u shoot

 

Most (but not all) people set thier top pin for 20 yards and I do as well.

My set up isn't exremely fast...probably around 250 fps.

 

I set my top pin @ 20 also. When I shoot from an elevated position it holds out to about 25 with minimal enough drop to not change my point of aim.

FPS....? My other specs are in my signature.

 

Yup, my first pin is set at 20 yards like everyone else with pins following at 30 and 40.

 

i got 4 pins..first pin 20 in....second 20 -30....3rd is 30-40...fourth is 40-out

 

Everyone compensates except for Hardcore....his bow is flat out to, what was it, 40 yards? :D

I personally set my pins dead on at 20 30 40 50 60. I compensate to halfway with the first pin, meaning 25 i use the 20 and hold high, 35 i use 30 and hold high....etc.

Generally, I use the same top pin for everything 25 and in.

 

Answered this over there as well.

I shoot a 375 grain arrow 258 fps @ 28" draw and 58#'s.

My first pin is set at 23 yards.here is how my trajectory plays out.

5 yards= 1/2" low Low is due to sight paralax
10 yards= 1" high
15 yards= 2" high
20 yards= 1" high
23 yards dead on
25 yards= 1 1/4" low
30 yards= 4 1/2" low



So I set a 23/30/35/40 yard pins and a 55 yarder for fun.Pretty clear to see that there really isn't such a thing as flat and according to my trajectory,it is pretty clear why I have a 30 yard pin.

20 yards!

 

Right now my 1st pin is at 24 yds, but I am hunting elk.
24
32
40
48
Once I get back for deer, I'll probably move them to 22, 30 & who cares what the other 2 are.

 

I don't have a top pin!

 

Top 20
Second 30
Third 40

 

My top (and only) pin is set for 22 yards

 

I have an HHa I set it at 25 yards and feel good out to 40 with it compensating a few inches.

 

Top pin set to 22, second 30, third 40, 4th and 5th aren't set at the moment. Like Trev, I compensate out to 25 with the top pin.

 

I would adust your pin so its dead on at 20yds....everyone I know has theirs set @ 20,30,40, and 50yds if they have a 4th pin

 

gues i'm the oddball... my 5 pin is set 15-17 on the first , 25 ,35,45 & 50......but i'm a rookie so my hunt-shooting distance is 25 yrds max.... i'm standing in my street at 50yrds / at least i'm at the end of the street / lol

 

Having shot a bit of 3d I like oddball yardages.

My 5 pins are as follows

18
28
34
42
50

 

:D ........

 

Same here.

 

20, 30, 40 and 50. It does not matter after 35 as they usually get a pass, the pins are mainly for practice beyond that.
